Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I want to personally THANK Dr. Wlodawsky and his team at the 11319 Polo Place, Midlothian, VA location for taking such AWESOME care of my son on April 21, 2021. My son has struggled with dental issues since he was four. He said yesterday while in recovery from having 2 teeth extracted and socket preservations put in for future implants that "THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO!! All he could remember yesterday is hearing people talk during his surgery LOL or so he thinks :) 23 years ago I lost my daddy due to a random act of violence. People all said his legacy was his smile. With Dr. Wlodawsky my son will carry on his grandpa's legacy of his smile!! THANKS AGAIN Dr. Wlodawsky!

My son was extremely nervous about getting his impacted wisdom teeth extracted. Dr. Wlodawsky and staff put him at ease and did an amazing job with him. He had minimal pain and swelling and was back to eating somewhat normal foods the next day! I can't thank Dr. W and staff enough for the care and gentleness they had for a terrified 15 year old.

I searched for another oral surgeon on-line after a very traumatic series of events surrounding a molar extraction at another office. Dr. Wlodawsky had very impressive credentials and wonderful reviews. I made my appointment to finish the work on the original implant and do the other extraction/implant. I left his office with such a feeling of confidence in him, knowing I made the right choice. Night & Day experience!! Exparel injection is AWESOME!!! He is the BEST! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED A+++!!

Dr. Ross Wlodawsky, DDS and the staff of Virginia Oral and Facial Surgery are extremely professional, efficient, pleasant and kind. My 10 year old daughter and I both had oral surgery procedures done and we interacted with two of their offices with excellent outcomes. I was a medical professional for over 40 years and I highly recommend Dr. Wlodawsky to anyone who needs oral surgery. Ric Olsen

Came in for emergency visit to extract my seriously infected, aching tooth late on a Friday afternoon. Dr. Wlodawsky was kind enough to make time to accommodate my emergency. Dr. Wlodawsky provided courteous and professional service; quickly extracted my tooth, placed graft, and suggested future options. Highly recommend!

I simply cannot express how utterly impressed I am with Dr. Wlodawsky and his entire staff. I was referred to him when a recently placed dental implant had complications. I was seen by Dr. Wlodawsky within 48 hours and had surgery the following week. His bedside manner was impeccable, as was his immediate communication with my general dentist to brief him of the outcome of my procedure. I felt valued as a patient and as an individual. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!

I would like to thank Dr. Ross Wlodawsky, DDs and staff at the Southside Office for this positive and warm dental experience during my last visit. I was expecting the worst and received the best in care, treatment and comfort. I was immediately put at ease and the entire tooth extraction process lasted fewer than 24 minutes. I felt “no” pain during and after to procedure which was a big deal for me!. Thank you for the warm care. Wallace

Because of scheduling is issues, I met with Dr. Wlodawsky twice before my surgery. Each time he was efficient, polite, and made me comfortable about my wisdom teeth extractions. Having all four removed, I was pretty fearful, but he and his staff reassured me. I had no issues with my surgery and am appreciative of the experience provided to me.

I had a challenging extraction of an upper tooth that my general practice dentists immediately said I would need an oral surgeon. They recommended Dr. Wlodawsky and I appreciate their recommendation. Every step of the way and especially the extraction went well. I healed quickly and the implantation of the post went smoothly. Now, having had the cap in place for several months, I've had no problems whatsoever. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Wlodawsky and his staff.

Dr. Wlodawsky and his staff make oral surgery a not-so-terrible experience. They were efficient in every action and provided an almost painless experience. I'm keeping Dr. W. as a reference in case I need oral surgery in the future. I appreciate the personal touches and use of humor during my time in the office. I would like to suggest enlarging the reception area and installing panels between those waiting and the office staff because it is difficult not to listen to others' business.

I love love love Dr. Wlodawsky!!! He is knowledgeable and informative when discussing issues. He is gentle and kind when performing procedures. Most importantly for me though, he is extremely compassionate and patient. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and he eases your fears. For anyone that is terrified of dentists and dental procedures, this is the doctor you want to see!!! He cares about the whole person and making it a good experience all around. He is truly one of a kind!

I was recommended by my Dentist to Dr. Wlodawsky for an implant surgery. Previous to this, I had a root canal & crown on the same tooth three years prior and it had become fractured. I was completely unaware of what a tooth implant was & how involved it was. Dr. Wlodawsky was very helpful in my initial meeting with him, my two surgeries and in follow up appointments. Throughout the process, Dr. Wlodawsky and his staff have been responsive and helpful, and I highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Wlodawsky was very patient, allowing me to explain my discomfort from my own perspective. He then explained the pain I was experiencing in a way that made sense to me, which made it easy to understand my part in the recovery. He is very easy to talk to and was more than willing to answer all of my questions.
